The Police Timeline of the Texas School Shooting Has a Lot of Holes | via @VICENews h/t @ItsKey_70sbaby #PunIntended #GunReformNow #WhenGoodGuysWithGunsGoWrong vice.com/en/article/pkp…
“Investigators ‘still grabbing’ information about Texas school shooting as families search for answers” #Uvalde #DemandReform #DemandTheTruth #DemandJustice twitter.com/i/events/15291…
“They create the conditions they lament then refuse all the viable remedies.” They put shit tons of assault weapons on the streets to justify further militarization of America’s police force, which still hasn’t demonstrated competence or capability of neutralizing mass shooters. Image
And it’s clearly NOT a well-regulated militia if anyone can possess a firearm without the slightest obligation to prove they don’t plan to use it to kill themselves/others. *No MH provider* can save ANY of us from a person who isn’t acutely committable at the time of possession.
Unfortunately a lot of y’all are still drastically OVERESTIMATING the power & authority of psychiatrists and mental health courts, especially in a gun fetishism state like Texas. I’ve seen guns briefly held by cops but very soon returned to previously suicidal/homicidal patients.
Beyond that, if a patient tells you they have a gun but have no intention of hurting themselves or others with it today, that isn’t a permanent guarantee that those feelings or life circumstances won’t change outside of your office. Who do y’all think is policing all of that? 🧐
If my next visit with said gun-owning patient isn’t until 3 months from now, what fairy godmother do you think is responsible for making sure he/she doesn’t have a bad day and decide to break whatever promises they made to me, everyone else they know and/or their higher power?
I mean… IDK who’s gonna do that for each and every last one of the millions of gun owners who either 1) do have a psychiatric diagnosis, or 2) have never met the criteria (yet), thus would never even end up on the MH radar. It sure as fuck won’t be Greg, Dan, John or Ted though.
“Multiple calls made from classrooms during #Uvalde shooting as police waited in hallway, officials say” | Yet another problem our mental health system can’t fix: cowardly, complicit cops who refuse to protect & serve because they’re outgunned by an AR-15. twitter.com/i/events/15291…
Yes and many thanks for perfectly illustrating why the entire @GOP is blowing unregulated militia gunsmoke up everyone’s asses. Psychiatrists aren’t mind-readers & everyone who sees us ain’t 100% honest 100% of the time. Ban assault weapons NOW & stop scapegoating mental illness. Image
Oh and btw @Robin1226, we don’t just ask about guns b/c insurance forces us to, it’s a standard preventive medicine & personal/public safety question that PCPs are increasingly asking b/c 1) America has a gun violence epidemic & 2) America has a massive shortage of psychiatrists.

What if instead of vilifying Democrats as feckless & ignoring the unprecedented Constitutional crisis standing in their way, folk who actually didn’t want fascism dared the American electorate to give Ds a veto-proof Congressional majority/all 3 branches of government FOR ONCE?
Ever notice how you never see them advocating for that but you always see them poisoning the well sufficiently enough to suppress D turnout and catalyze absolute GOP power? 🧐 They perpetuate razor thin margins that render Rs unstoppable and Ds unelectable.
Swap out Manchin for Fetterman (or any other ConservaDem you so choose) and the point still stands. We wouldn’t be living & dying by the White whims of ConservaDems or Rs if they didn’t share a constituency that refuses to elect Ds who are either POC or *reliable White allies*. Image

Trump/DOGE/the GOP are destroying *community resources for education, recreation, employment & healthcare* bc they want MORE social dysfunction & economic chaos. They’re catalyzing a Putinesque oligarchy built on a reinforced American caste system, it ain’t a mystery or surprise. Image
I don’t wanna hear shit else about “Ds not meeting the moment.” Literally the only reason America even has/had all the public services Rs are gleefully destroying is Ds. Y’all insisted on letting perfect be the enemy of good & look at us now, contending with evil every damn day.
Also just b/c you didn’t join the fight until some Bros occupied Wall Street in 2011 doesn’t mean the Black base of the Democratic Party hasn’t been fighting the battle for civil rights AND socioeconomic justice in America since 1619. You didn’t help but now you want moments met.

A lot of folk seem to think that repeating “I support Trump/DOGE/the GOP’s funding cuts b/c there’s too much fraud, waste & abuse in government” makes them sound reasonable and fiscally responsible when really all they’re doing is parroting Southern Strategy dog whistles. 🙃
For context, watch this👇🏾clip. It’s the most commonly executed mental gymnastics routine in these interviews of FAFO MAGAts who still don’t wanna admit they’ve been brainwashed by the GOP (and Fox) into supporting the dismantling of their entire government-dependent livelihood.🤸 Image
Not only is there a shit ton of fraud/waste/abuse in the private sector that they hypocritically pretend is infallible & superior to the public services they divest from (b/c they think it hurts ‘those’ people), *they* end up reliant on those same underfunded public resources.

“New polls show a majority of Americans say he has overstepped his presidential authority — and hasn’t done enough to address high prices.” | via @politico #InstabilityInChief #BuyersRemorse #GOPOverreach politico.com/news/2025/02/2…Image

Much of the reason White “moderates” are so shellshocked about having no quick reprieve from Project 2025 is they’ve historically been able to evade the worst of GOP policy by “swing” voting for divided govt that allows Ds to rescue them from the R trifectas they keep unleashing.
IOW, they create economic chaos by voting GOP in presidential years (to assert their Whiteness) then crawling back to Ds with their tails between their legs at the midterms b/c they desperately need a bailout from GOP austerity/overreach and want their SS, Medicaid & Medicare. 🙃

If anything good comes from this unmitigated disaster & international fucking embarrassment (part II) I hope it’s that folk who never bothered to understand how American government works or why they should give a damn about the social safety net finally learn it from losing it.
Every time I see an MSM clip of them sorrowfully (but unconvincingly) reporting these #TrumpLayoffs & agency closures/takeovers I roll my eyes damn near out of my head b/c WTF members of the press?! Stop pretending there was “no” way to predict this when Y’ALL fanned the flames.
Then there’s the FAFO folk who actually ordered the code red on their own selves b/c they’ve been terminally brainwashed by 60+ yrs of the GOP Southern Strategy to reflexively hate the federal government (even though they need it) b/c of its interventions re: slavery & Jim Crow. Image

I’m gonna preface this by saying it’s mostly anecdotal but the patients I’m seeing virtually in TX (mostly White, rural/suburban) have been so medically unwell for the last month, primarily upper respiratory and gastrointestinal. Lots of flu, a smattering of COVID and colitis…
At first I was like well yeah it’s winter and cold/flu season plus vaccine refusal is off the charts, so folk aren’t keeping up with COVID boosters or annual flu shots etc., but now that it’s coupled with #InstabilityInChief shuttering public health services & communication... 🥴
And then it got even weirder this week when a patient told me school districts near him were closing in droves and said 650! students were out sick. I googled as soon as the session ended and look: nbcdfw.com/news/local/sch…
